Soon after the end of my first pass through the clues I picked up on NARZISS UND GOLDMUND and spotted HERMANN HESSE on the diagonal, and then the rest just fell away. (Being of a certain age, I was familiar with most of the books + some others, though I’ll admit to starting The Glass Bead Game three or four times and not getting very far.)

This should take nothing away from the puzzle: grid plus clues all very neat indeed; but only briefly engaging – grade 1 of 5?
